Notes on supported items

Below are several details relating to the following items:

Feature Layers

Sites supports ArcGIS for Server Feature and Map Services with the Query capability enabled. Once these feature layers are shared with a group, people can export this content as CSV, KML, shapefile, and JSON.

CSV files

CSV files that you have uploaded to your Portal for ArcGIS are supported and will appear in search results. Files can be filtered, charted, and exported to .CSV or JSON.

Note:

Only comma-separated values (CSV) files less than 5MB are supported at this time.

Image Services

Raster data and aerial imagery can be shared as an image service. Image services must have fields in order to be added. People can export the image as a PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or as a GeoService.

Note:

Raster layers within map services are not supported.

Web Maps

Web map items from Portal for ArcGIS can be added to sites, found in the search results, and viewed within the site.

Documents

Microsoft Office documents and PDFs documents will appear in a site's search results and can be viewed within the site.

External URLs

External URLs can be added to Portal for ArcGIS as a Document link. These links will appear in the search results but do not have their own preview page. People can click on their title and will be directed to the external URL in a new tab.
